== NRC – Lt(jg) Papaver – Science ==
The hours after the battle had been tense. Papaver had been taken to sickbay. Burns and crush injuries were expected, but her other traumas were new. Even to Doctor Stonehouse the then CMO of Magellan.
Close contact with the Gorn officer in the heat of the conflict had resulted in bruising and a dislocated shoulder on top of those later sustained when the bridge had taken a direct hit. But there were also other concerns. Bodily fluids had made contact with the unfortunate Papaver. And despite modern medicine having improved in leaps and bounds, accidental insemination was still a risk.
Having to be put in an induced coma while the appropriate tests were performed, just in case. Which thankfully were clean. When she was woken back up, the medical teams had also had to shave her head as no matter what they tried, they couldn't get rid of the smell.
It was after this that she was went for mandatory counselling which had lasted months as unfortunately during the coma her brain hadn't reached as fully delta state and she'd replayed the image of the descending Gorn cloaca belonging to Jadris over and over to the point where the traumatising memory occasionally caused her to wake up screaming.
And now there he was...
"Lieutenant. Just take it easy. Have a seat, and stay calm. You have two doctors here." Said a familiar voice nearby.
Turning her head but keeping her eyes on the Gorm, she eventually turned them too, to look at Beinn who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
Shakily, she side stepped to a nearby chair and kept her gaze now fixed on Bremner when she spoke. "Do you know the Gorn officer? I feel there is a familiarity there."
“Yes.” She said, sounding unsure. “We served together on the, the Magellan.” She took a moment. “I'll be, okay. I just need to...” She closed her eyes and began taking some deep breathes to try to calm herself down. “It's not his fault. I just need to, just give me a moment.”
“Did I come at a bad time?” Said yet another new voice.
“Sorry about this.” Said Papaver as she began to calm herself. “I guess I was just caught off guard.”
